Piedmont Pottery Posted April 9, 2021 Report Share Posted April 9, 2021 As long as it was bone dry before the freezing temperatures hit, it should be ok, I've had that happen once when power went out in an ice storm. They fired just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liambesaw Posted April 9, 2021 Report Share Posted April 9, 2021 Sure! Freezing damage is VERY obvious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark C. Posted April 10, 2021 Report Share Posted April 10, 2021 Frozen pots if wet enough will die. Usually if fired they will crack as well. Dry the pots well then freezing will not hurt them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
